GSorry Im not Em7out tonight, my Cadd9pockets feel like holes
I've got Gnothing I can Em7offer you as I Cadd9sit here in the cold
It's a Gstory I've been Em7telling for Cadd9longer than I know
AmWhere did Call my riches go?
   G     Em7     Cadd9     Cadd9x2
An Ginquest I am Em7scared of cos Cadd9I don't wanna know and I've been 
GWalking off my Em7worries Cadd9hoping they won't follow me 
GAround and Em7around and Cadd9around
But they Galways find Em7meCadd9  
AmWhy won't you leave me Calone?
AmWhy won't you leave me Galone?
   G     Em7     Cadd9     Cadd9x4
I'm Gterrified of Em7answers so I Cadd9chose just not to ask
Surely Geverything is Em7easier when you Cadd9leave it in the past
And I know Gthat I've been Em7waking almost Cadd9every single night
GDripping wet with Em7deep regret locked Cadd9in this endless fight
And I am GfalEm7ling Cadd9faster to the ground
GPunched at every Em7corner with my Cadd9arms securely bound
And I am Gwaiting for Em7existence to Cadd9hold me by the hand
GExplain that all's not Em7lost for me and Cadd9make me understand that I am Amfree
Cadd9Make me understand that I am Amfree
Cadd9Make me understaGnd 
    G     Em7     Cadd9     Cadd9x2
My Gpanic gets the Em7upper hand as it Cadd9tackles with me breath
And I can Gsee this is no Em7playground fight it's a Cadd9battle to the death
And I am Gchoking on the Em7concrete with my Cadd9face pressed to the floor
                  GN/C
The bastards won't defeat me can't you hear me scream for more. 
And I am GfalEm7ling Cadd9faster to the ground
GPunched at every Em7corner with my Cadd9arms securely bound
And I am Gwaiting for Em7existence to Cadd9hold me by the hand
GExplain that all's not Em7lost for me and Cadd9make me understand that I am Amfree
CMake me understand that I am Amfree
CMake me understand that I am Amfree
CMake me understand that I am Amfree
CMake me understand
Enjoy!! =D
